"I heard Sera say that during the four-nation competition of the new star magicians, you turned a blind eye to Lulutis, who was of similar size, but you frequently sent invitations to other female magicians." Lu Yu interrupted, "Why don't you like Lu?
Lutis?"
"I didn't expect Your Excellency Gluttony to know about this matter. Lulutis... her name has disappeared for a long time. If she didn't die in that stupid explosion and wasn't controlled by Tanya, she should still have a chance.
Grow taller."
Noel sighed with emotion: "As long as she is a beautiful girl and meets the age, I can do it, but there are some exceptions for Lulutis. She is Tanya's chess piece, and I have no interest in getting involved with the chess piece of another princess of a big country, and...
Tanya brainwashed Lulutis very badly."
"I once asked the Quiet Ones, and they all said that Lulu's birth resulted in stunted growth in the early stages. It is understandable that her poor physical foundation was poor, but she was still relatively thin in the later stages and could not grow taller... Maybe Tanya was not interested in Luluti's food and appetite.
Si has made some restrictions, but of course it is just a guess, it may be that Lulutis is anorexic."
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, remembering Lulu's unusual anorexia. Although he didn't know if Tanya was as bad as the Quiet One guessed, the current situation was that Lulu was indeed a bit petite. Even after he regained his shape, he deliberately added more food.
I just became more energetic, but didn't gain much weight or height.
Lulu is anxious about her height, and has also developed her own height-increasing medicines. However, these new medicines often have a problem - they cannot find suitable experimental subjects, and there is no long-term data collection and statistical means.
At this stage, there is no magic of "pulling seedlings to encourage growth", and the effect of medicine may be similar to that of dietary supplements.
Noel was not interested in Lu Yu's proposal. He believed that when the magic wave hit, many new types of magic might appear. He had been looking forward to the magic of transformation and shaping for a long time. At this time, it was a waste of time and effort to fiddle with the height-increasing potions.
It is better to continue producing objects related to ancient impulses.
The bell on the wall swayed, and they both raised their heads.
"Your Majesty, Ms. Gulu is about to enter the room."
Lu Yu glanced at the set of clothes in his hand, quickly threw them all back into the cabinet, and then waited for Lulu's arrival as if nothing had happened.
Since most of the sample shirts displayed by Noel were too large, Lulu did not wear any new clothes. This made Lu Yu, who was looking forward to it, a little disappointed, and also made him decide to secretly choose from Noel before leaving.
Buy a few categories, wait until you solve the Dyeing Spirit and give her a surprise.
Lulu, who was walking and shopping, was also very interested in the boxes and boxes placed everywhere, but when she mentioned the uses and effects of the products stored in them, the two of them said in tacit agreement, "Let's take a look at the wardrobe."
Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Lulu behaved very reservedly. Facing the dazzling array of new clothes, she touched them happily, then restrained her expression and put them down gently, pretending not to care.
Lu Yu followed her quietly, following her line of sight and locking his target.
Lulu looked at a light gray pleated skirt with lace and couldn't take her eyes off it. Lu Yu raised his head and looked at Noel, who immediately walked to the edge of the drawing board and silently made marks.
The various small round-toe leather shoes in the display cabinet made Lulu stop, and Lu Yu glanced at Noel again...
One after another new products were recorded under Noel's diligent writing. As a gift giver, he was filled with joy. The only pity he felt was that Lu Yu never designated it personally. He wanted to know this
How would a glutton with the same hobbies dress up his lover.
"These are all too fancy. I asked the maid to record two of them for me outside. Those are enough." Lulu glanced at the wardrobe with nostalgia, automatically ignoring those strange styles that made people's hearts beat faster.
She changed the topic and glanced at Lu Yu: "You seem to be very interested in some clothes in the wardrobe?"
"Ah...I...I didn't." Lu Yu started to defend almost subconsciously.
Lulu took out the low-cut evening dress that Lu Yu casually threw into the closet and shook it: "It seems to have some of your breath on it."
As she spoke, Lulu sniffed.
As a potion student, she is extremely sensitive to smells.
Noel said carelessly: "Your Excellency Gluttony's taste is impressive. The design ideas he provided to me prove that he has talent that is not inferior to mine in this regard. It is natural to choose this dress. I will let him
Ms. Gulu is made into a style that suits her figure and shape. I believe you will be able to capture the heart of the glutton."
The words of Noel, who had a deep misunderstanding, made Lulu confused at first, then shy, and finally confused.
"Design idea? What design idea?"
Lu Yu hurriedly stopped him, but it was too late. Noel, who did not realize the seriousness of the matter and had a misunderstanding, showed the sketch of the dress that was too advanced to Lulu with a smile.
Lulu's face suddenly turned red and her body was trembling. With a red face, she twisted the drawing paper and looked at Lu Yu little by little.
Lu Yu didn't dare to look at her and looked away guiltily.
"I am greatly impressed by Your Excellency Gluttony's idea. I never thought that I could expand my thinking to this point. Just a few pieces of cloth can make people's heart beat faster, their whole body feel hot, and their desire surges..."
Lulu was a little disappointed when she imagined that wearing such clothes on herself and wearing them on others had completely different effects, but when she thought that this was Lu Yu's idea...
"It turns out that this is the type Lu Yu likes. No wonder he always gets together with Sera...I understand, I understand everything!"
Lulu stammered: "Your Majesty Noel...you...you have such an outstanding talent...why can't you design some convenient and durable clothes for ordinary people!"
This was a casual remark she made because she was too shy and wanted to change the subject, but Noel suddenly fell silent and stared straight at Lulu with an intriguing expression on her face.
Finally, he smiled: "Because I am a lustful emperor, and even if I can produce it, who will buy it?"
It happened that the commander of the Third Dragon Slayer Legion came to the palace for an audience. After Noel apologized, he temporarily left the room.
Lulu felt that Noel's answer was perfunctory: "Who will buy it? Everyone needs clothes, right?"
"You misunderstood him a little, and also misunderstood his answer."
Lulu was puzzled: "Misunderstanding? I just asked him not to keep those... those... messy things in his mind. If he uses his excellent design talent a little bit, he might be able to try a new fabric and create a comfortable feeling.
, simple clothing styles for the masses.”
Lu Yu knew that Lulu hadn't touched the core point yet, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed her peach-like face, feeling the hot fingertips and eyes like a pool of clear water, and his heartbeat continued to accelerate.
Resisting the urge to continue stroking, Lu Yu began to explain.
"What type of people have the most people in the four major countries?"
"Type...if that's what I understand, the number of slaves must be the largest." Lulu said blankly, feeling the touch on her cheek just now.
The social structure of the entire Mela is about one to three percent aristocrats, magicians rule thirty to forty percent of ordinary people, and the rest are slaves.
Under this social structure, distribution is extremely abnormal.
Slaves are completely propertyless. They cannot even be called human beings. They have no place in the laws of any country or clan. Whether they live or die depends only on heaven.
Ordinary people can be roughly divided into middle-class people who have just enough food and clothing and a small surplus of food. The value of their surplus labor can slightly improve their lives, but definitely not much.
The nobles and magicians who possess knowledge, wealth, and force at the top of the pyramid lie on top of the remaining people, sucking blood like leeches like leeches, and raise slaves like animals in captivity.
Choosing spouses for slaves and letting them reproduce is by no means a conscience issue for those at the top of the pyramid, but they know very well that the bricks and stones at the bottom should only increase rather than decrease. Only in this way can the wealth and power in their hands be stable.
After talking about this ugly situation that Lulu had already understood and had seen many times, Lu Yu took out the piece of clothing that Lulu had taken a fancy to.
"Then the question is, how many people can afford Noel's clothes?"
Lulu realized the key point, and she murmured: "Except for the nobles and some ordinary people, no one...production is not the problem, purchasing is."
Lulu then raised a new question: "But how much can we make and how much can we sell..."
"Now it's all about how much we make and how much we sell. Only the nobles will support us." Lu Yu reminded.
"This... uh..." Lulu was a little confused. She felt that she vaguely saw something on a piece of clothing, but she couldn't sort out the key points in a systematic way.
"If, as you proposed to him, ordinary people can buy the clothes he makes, then these people must have the wealth to be able to afford the clothes, and this expenditure should be a redundant part beyond the necessary expenditures.
, but the current situation is that most people have no redundancy at all.”
"At this stage, most of the requirements of ordinary people in Mela for clothes are strong and durable, not innovation in style and shape. From the perspective of ordinary people's knowledge and perspective, novelty is equivalent to being fancy and useless. They are naturally conservative and afraid of accepting new things.
, because their property has no room for error and cannot withstand any loss, so after going round and round, these clothes will still become a 'novel experience' for the nobles, and only they can enjoy the crystallization of technology and wisdom."
Lulu, who had gradually understood, suddenly looked at the closed stone door. As an emperor who was too advanced, she seemed to feel his loneliness.
Lu Yu followed Lulu's gaze and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps he had thought about related issues a long time ago. Rather than spreading word of mouth among nobles, he actually hopes that more people can wear it.
He designed and named the clothes himself, but it's a pity that he is the emperor and there are some things that he cannot touch easily."
"Having your work accepted, appreciated and praised by more people is the best feedback for a designer."
Lulu found Lu Yu's words very convincing.
As the painter who personally assisted him in bringing the flesh-and-blood chariot, the demon-eating tree, and the book of knowledge to this world, she has always been looking forward to the arrival of the next era.
The portrayal of her and Lu Yu, the new summons emerging in the hands of different summoners, must be a very wonderful scene.
The most important thing is that this is something she and Lu Yu accomplished together.
